My family loves Krispy Kreme and used to drive 45 minutes with hopes that the hot sign would be lit up. KK was right across from the hospital my pedatritians worked out of and every time I went to the hospital...we had to stop for donuts whether I liked it or not. I hated donuts growing up but I have developed a beautiful…

....what? I do not throw my eating habits in the faces of my peers/coworkers and I still get those comments.
-
I'd be afraid of sacrificing taste for calories...or lack there of.
-
Hm....I tend to eat the same breakfast each morning. Pretty low in carbs I guess, but I don't eat it for that reason. I eat two eggs (fried in either cooking spray or extra virgin olive oil) with sour cream, cheese, and a wholelotta sriracha.
-
Uhh....can you link the article because I have a hard time understanding that? If you have PCOS, I'd assume your doctor has briefed you on it. As soon as I can afford to go to the doctor, I'm going to get checked out for it. I don't *know* if I have it, but I have a strong feeling I do, as I display most of the symptoms…

I just smothered a piece of cheese with sriracha. Dang was that a good one.

Hopefully this is you in the coming year ;)

Wow dude you must be the prosecutor in the court of public opinion. Are you the same kind of person to say someone "deserves" to be sexually assaulted if they are dressed scantily? I think I've made my own opinion clear about the topic--at this point I'm just reading what every everyone else thinks, but things like saying…
-
I know, I know. I was really sure what he was implying so I just decided to explain it. I can handle his wit...I actually like his John Voight profile picture though.
-
....No, seriously. I'd like to know the distinction because the phrase "enabling obesity by putting a positive spin on a model who is engaging in unhealthy eating habits" doesn't really help me understand the difference between the phrase and fat shaming-it does not stand on its own to all audiences.
-
Then please explain that distinction...
-
That last one just doesn't make sense. It's like saying to your partner "I love you unconditionally, but..." If you think fat shaming is wrong, stop saying that they should "realize that they should lose weight." How does their life, and choices to be fat or not HAVE ANY EFFECT on you? Merriam-Webster says... Shame…

I've been sampling and buying different flavors. My favorite so far is the new S'mores flavor. Huge chunks of chocolate--it was delicious.
-
^^ YES! It has shown to be counterproductive to flat out tell someone they're fat and need to lose weight, as more often then not it just reenforces the negative thoughts a (fat) person can have about their body. What happened to being respectful and nice to EVERYONE. Or....treat others how you want to be treated. It's…

If I am facing north when I take this photo, and my "lens" is facing south, my bangs appear to the right. If I open the photo (with my computer still facing south) and I get up and face south, my bangs, which go to the left in physical person, still appear to go to the right in the photo. Lemme see if I can get a picture…
-
Hahaha my profile picture was taken with the main camera on my phone, the added picture is from my photo booth webcam on my laptop where it faces me. I part my hair to the left, but in iPhoto it looks like I part it to the right. :P

I'm a very compassionate, forgiving person and though I don't agree with a lot of the things you've said on this thread, I know you're still entitled to your opinion or thoughts or what have you. And I make silent judgements on people ALL THE TIME, but if they're hurtful or harsh I back my thoughts up a second and decide…
-
I'm cool with just about everyone ever, so of course, but some people project their comments out loud to me irl, and while I am used to it, it gets old (<--this run on sentence/some sort of comma splice is killing me). I've literally had clients at my work tell me I won't get a job with tattoos....while I'm working.....…
-
Yes, the best choice I've ever made for my loved, unhealthy, subhuman, FAT legs. It was my choice to ink my body permanently, but it is not my choice that some people have judgements on tattoos. Would I like an acceptance movement? HELL YEAH. Just because I am fat and have tattoos, doesn't mean I should be treated with any…

Elaborate
-
^^^ I was just telling my boyfriend that I'm pretty damn proud of myself for never having low self-esteem considering I've been fat my entire life. The only thing I have a problem with is my nose when I catch a profile from pictures or a glance in the mirror, but even then, it's not that big a deal for me. And I'm all…
-
Oh yes, and did some of you actually read the article? It says that she works with a personal trainer 4 times a week. I haven't seen any comments acknowledging that so far.

When I became a pescetarian I actually gained weight because I stuck to eating nothing but junk food. I was also 13 or 14 years old and had no clue what I was doing except avoiding poultry, pork, and beef. I am hoping to phase out of eating seafood soon... for no reason other than the fact that it bothers me so much that…

I'm from Maryland, I can't help it!...but who's to say I'm not topping everything with rum? ;)

In my English 101 class I actually wrote a six page paper about how buying whole foods is ultimately cheaper than processed foods. Like others are posting, brown rice and beans are totally cheap, easy to make, and very filling. If you take up light couponing or even just skimming your store's circular for weekly sales you…
-
I top salads (along with just about everything else besides fruit) with Old Bay.
-
Not a big fan of the title of this, but I understand you apologized in advance. I've seen other articles about fit moms with photos of their 6 packs, tanned skin, and white smiles that say "what's your excuse?" As some women might find that motivational, some won't. I've seen so many other mothers comment back with their…

People say to me "Aren't you dieting? Can you eat that?" and then I rip open my chips or my ice cream and eat what I've portioned. :p About specific ways to success...I've learned over time that I feel better on 5-6 hours of sleep as compared to a full "recommended" 8.

I went into GNC today and the clerk must've thought I had no clue about anything concerning health and was giving me his spiel...he gave me a ton of sample packets and I wasn't complaining. It's nice to find one that isn't chunky and doesn't taste like throw up.

My dad cooked on a well seasoned iron skillet when I was a child. I feel like food always tasted better with an iron skillet. I could not care less now..so much work. ;) In the ways of non-stick pans....I've used Revere non-stick and it worked okay until someone (probably me :( ) used a fork on it.
